Child's suicide raises questions about care

Child's suicide raises questions about care

THE suicide of a 16-year-old girl in care in Winnipeg has led the chief of her remote First Nation to ask why child welfare authorities are not providing more details to them and her family around her death, including the services she received before she died.

Jessica Joy Owens of Pauingassi died in Winnipeg last week after she killed herself in the company of another 17-year-old foster child from the same community, said Chief Harold Crow.
